You are missing the other case: The people who are subscribe to vox and vox-tech and explicitly want/demand to get two copies of messages sent to vox-announce (one each for vox and vox-tech). While I'm not subscribed to your lists, I do demand such from the lists I'm on. > can this be done with mailman?

a question about umbrella lists
by Peter Jay Salzman Nov. 20, 2001

Nov. 20, 2001

hi all, my linux user group runs 3 mailing lists: vox, vox-tech and vox-announce. i would like all subscribers of vox and vox-tech to also be subscribed to vox-announce (which only officers can post to). the trouble is, if vox-announce is an umbrella list for both vox and vox-announce, then people who belong to both vox and vox-tech will get two copies of any posts that i make to vox-announce. is there a way of suppressing these duplicate messages? some people like to subscribe only to vox, some only to vox-tech and some to both vox and vox-tech. but in all of these cases, they should only receive one copy of an email sent to vox-announce. can this be done with mailman? pete -- "You may not use the Software in connection with any site that disparages Microsoft, MSN, MSNBC, Expedia, or their products or services ..." -- Clause from license for FrontPage 2002

Upgrade icon trouble..
by William Loats Nov. 20, 2001

Nov. 20, 2001

I just upgraded to 2.0.7 (from 2.beta5) after a system upgrade and for some reason the icons on all mailman pages are broken images. The source looks ok and the files are there with what appears to be the proper permissions but the images are broken. Any ideas? --Bill -- --=*=-- William A. Loats wal(a)magicalbox.com Lawrence, KS

list archive question

i noticed that *searchable* archives are on the wishlist. imho, an archive is almost useless without some kind of search mechanism. is there an ETA for this feature? pete -- "You may not use the Software in connection with any site that disparages Microsoft, MSN, MSNBC, Expedia, or their products or services ..." -- Clause from license for FrontPage 2002

Invoking an external script when creating a list
by Armstrong, Scott Mr CECOM RDEC NVESD Nov. 20, 2001

Nov. 20, 2001

I'm in the process of switching from pipermail to an external archiver. I've been trying to determine what program would need to be modified to call a local script when a new list is created. I need to do some additional housekeeping above and beyond that which is normally done. I believe I've identified that the bin/newlist program invokes mlist.Create(listname, owner_mail, pw) to actually create the list. Can anyone tell me where that module is located so I can insert my own handler into it? The Create module in MailMan/MailList.py has 4 parameters - def Create(self, name, admin, crypted_password), but otherwise it would seem the likely candidate.

wildcard for member_posting_only ?
by Peter Conrad Nov. 20, 2001

Nov. 20, 2001

hi, is there a way to allow for example a complete domain to a list, while "member_posting_only" is set? I like to have all people from my domain posting to a list, but only a few others. Thanks Peter

Domain-Aliases from bind make problems
by Jonas Meurer Nov. 20, 2001

Nov. 20, 2001

Hey ho, I've installed mailman on my local server (server.server0.de). But I've also declared aliases for server in bind, like mail.server0.de, www.server0.de, etc. But now, when I go to http://www.server0.de/mailman/admin it's no problem, but http://www.server0.de/mailman/listinfo showes no lists. http://server.server0.de/mailman/listinfo showes the upsetted lists. How can I say mailman that www.server0.de and mail.server0.de are also valid adresses for listinfo? The biggest problem is that the IP 192.168.3.2 also doesn't work. But I use iptables, and every inquiry to my webserver from the inet is forwardet to 129.168.3.2. So it isn't possible to see the lists from the inet. I think that mailman fetches the adress from the url which is given in the address-line. So www.server0.de etc. aren't valid. But how can I add domains/ip-addr? I really wanna add them for mailman, not only for mailinglist xyz. So, in which configuration-file can I add them, and how?

PHP integrating mailman
by Francis Yap Nov. 20, 2001

Nov. 20, 2001

Hi, Anyone has the slightest idea on how i can integrate mailman into a php system. As in i have a full portal developed in PHP, and in order to maintain the look and feel i need it to be able to integrate. Changing the UI of mailman is too tedious. So i am wondering if there is anyway that i can "include" mailman into the site. tks rgds Francis
